The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US. One of them is Riverside Records RLP 12-223, released February 1957.

How do I tell if my copy of New Jazz Conceptions is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RLP 12-223) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RLP-12-223-A-1 (very shallow etching) 16 I and RLP-223-B-3 16I. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
